Hi there - here's my bike at Ocean Beach in San Francisco after just being built up. It's a custom rock tour - i built it up at first as a road bike but have changed it to more a touring / randoneering bike which is what my intent was on ordering it. It's smooth and quiet - the most comfortable bike i've ridden. Rides like a dream!

It was the first bike (other than BMX many years ago) that i've built up from parts. I had a blast doing it and definitely learned a lot. As a consequence have a few parts that didn't make the final bike for one reason or another.

VERY nice indeed! Regarding size (56cm), how tall are you? I'm just under 6' and currently ride a 58cm 2001 Roadie. The 57cm top tube was spot on (with 110mm stem) for years though now that I am over 40 and do not get to ride as frequently, I've been considering "dropping" down to a 56.

check the resolution of your pictures. Most cameras will create larger file sizes than the the forum will allow, which is 500 kb. I ran into this problem and had to downsize all of my pictures, even after I took them with the lowest resolution on my camera.

Bamboo with Vanilla shake panels and black pinstripes - custom level tube geometry - steel shouldn't slope! Nice old school Brooks saddle coupled with the new school Sram Rival 10 speed! Best of both worlds and still under 19lbs
